Keep Circulating the Tapes/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Beakmans World]]'' is available to stream in its (almost) entirety on Netflix Instant, but there is still no full DVD release forthcoming. I guess we're stuck with the "Best of" set made after the first season...

* Seasons 5-6 of ''[[The Bob Newhart Show]]'' are completely unavailable because of low sales for Seasons 1-4. Newhart himself has pointed out the idiocy of using a partial release to test sales when people know that there's a strong possibility that they'll never get the rest of the show on DVD.

* ''[[Central Park West]]'', a primetime soap opera about a pair of siblings (played by Madchen Amick and [[John Barrowman]]) living it up in the world of rich, backstabbing New York socialites. The show, produced by Melrose Place co-creator Darren Star, was an attempt by CBS to cash in on the success of Melrose Place and featured major stars as part of the cast (including Mariel Hemingway and Lauren Hutton). It floundered in the ratings, though, and disappeared without a trace after a disasterous [[Retool]]. It still hasn't been released on DVD, even though it had two seasons.

* If you try to buy [[Rodgers and Hammerstein]]'s ''[[Cinderella (Film)|Cinderella]]'' on DVD, you could find the original version, with [[Julie Andrews]], even though it only aired on TV once since its initial performance. You could also find the 1997 ''Wonderful World of Disney'' remake. What about the first remake, which starred Lesley Ann Warren and became the most popular version after numerous re-runs and VHS releases? Sony pulled the DVD out of print after a few years. Old copies at Amazon can cost as much as ''$70''.
